Why work with us?
With a prized location on the south coast, our Fresh Acre Nurseries facility was
specifically constructed for the growing of bedding plants.

         Production level
         Our superior site at Fresh Acre Nurseries allows us to service
         your complete seasonal planting requirements from one source.
         Greenwood’s capacity, and ability to fulfil large-scale production
         volumes, provides peace of mind.

         Prime location
         Fresh Acre Nurseries is situated in the South East, close to
         London. Providing locally grown plants to our clients means a
         reduced carbon footprint and products in optimum condition.
         The proximity to the sea provides a more even climate for optimal
         growth, and also helps to reduce pests and diseases.

         Green fingers
         Greenwood uses recycled water, helping to preserve this precious
         resource. We use detectable recycled plastics for our potting,
         and re-use trays in production. Using biological pest and disease
         controls also reduces our use of pesticides.

         Quality service
         With our Tender Tool and our commitment to contract growing,
         Greenwood Plants ensures every step of the journey to your
         finished landscape is smooth. We pride ourselves on personalised
         customer service and reliable deliveries.

                                                                                   5

Greenwood
recommends …
Our summer bedding plants catalogue details the wide selection
of varieties and pot sizes on offer. Here are some bedding plant
families to create spectacular summer displays, as recommended
by our nursery manager.

                 Sunpatiens (Busy Lizzie)
                 More robust than standard impatiens, with greater spread, these
                 wonderful plants grow a profusion of flowers in a range of colours
                 from brilliant lilacs and vivid magentas to blushing pinks and pure
                 white.

                 Lobularia (Sweet alyssum)
                 For colourful coverage, the fragrant and delicate blooms of lobularia
                 are hard to beat. Its dense mounds of low-growing blooms create
                 carpets of intense colour.

                 Canna
                 The showy flowers and distinctive leaves of the Canna lily make a stunning addition to beds and
                 borders, in wonderfully vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow and pink.

                 Fuchsia
                 The elegant drooping blooms of fuchsia create a beautiful chandelier effect in hanging baskets, and
                 the pendent shaped flowers add contrast and interest to bedding displays.

                 Greenwood can supply any bedding plant you require. See our full catalogue to see further details.
